East Stroudsburg man, 44, charged with drugging, raping girl, 14

An East Stroudsburg man is charged with giving alcoholic beverages and Oxycodone to two girls, ages 14 and 13, and raping the 14-year-old at his home in November, Stroud Area Regional Police said.

Anthony Nieves, 44, has been bailed out of Monroe County Correctional Facility, according to court papers, and is scheduled for a future district court appearance.

A police affidavit gives the following account:

Both girls were at Nieves' home Nov. 23, but it's not mentioned why they were there.

Nieves gave both girls Goldschlager and Calico Jack rum, as well as crushed-up Oxycodone (a painkiller) mixed with whipped cream in spoons. Nieves vomited several times when he himself ate the Oxycodone.

Later that night, the 14-year-old awoke with no clothes on in Nieves' bed and saw him standing nearby, likewise with no clothes on. He then got on top of her and raped her.

It's not mentioned where the other girl was when this allegedly happened.

Both girls were later interviewed and medically examined at Pocono Medical Center, though police do not say when this happened. Nieves was later charged and placed in Monroe County Correctional Facility in lieu of $200,000 bail, but that bail was posted.
